Summer Must-Have

This summer the straw hat is changing shape: instead of the classic Panama, more sculptural silhouettes are favored, from conical cloches to woven raffia buckets, often with deliberately raw edges or visible fringe. Among the most successful proposals is Jacquemus's Le Bob Soli in raffia, alongside Loewe Paula's Ibiza—more minimal but with the same artisanal spirit—and those from Prada.On the feet, the true star of the season has once again become the flip-flop, which has definitively displaced the double-strap sandals and pool slides that dominated in recent years. The most refined take comes from Bottega Veneta with the Sampieri model in leather, while JW Anderson offers a sculptural variation with a leaf detail. For those looking for an easier, everyday option, there's the Birkenstock Gizeh, while the double-buckle Arizona remains the absolute reference point of the genre."Barefoot" versions are also present—that is, minimal sandals that leave the foot almost bare: Dries Van Noten's Leather Thong and Tom Ford's leather tong bring this essentialism into a more luxurious register, versatile enough to be paired even with a full office look. For those seeking a more structured compromise, there's or Marni's buckled Fussbett model Gucci logo-appliqué sandals— that retain a sporty soul but with more refined construction.The result is a summer in which men's style becomes more relaxed: you go from the desk to the beach without changing shoes.
